John Van Kirk's 'Apocalypse Now' accented J. Ray Paradiso's photography in a way that needed nothing more. Together these two artists blended together and gave the Fall 2019 issue a centre for everything else to orbit. Since its publication this piece has been nominated for this year's Best Microfiction Award.

Interview with Tianyi Zhang

Tianyi Zhang gave NUNUM

some Zelffie magic for the Fall 2019 issue and once we blended it up with Amanda Conner's story 'The Time Has Come', well we had another Pushcart nomination on our hands.

Lately we were lucky enough to get in a few questions for our newest favourite artist and as usual we learned so much more than expected.

Flash Fiction

Ann Calandro’s piece ‘The Treasure’ became the cover of NUNUM’s Fall 2019 issue and nothing could have summed up what was going on in the issue better … a treasure indeed.

We were lucky enough to get a few minutes of Ann’s time and just like the cover for the issue, it was a treasure. Ann thank you for this, have questions that we ask everyone so

Eros Livieratos

Said last week that Mike Callaghan's work fit seamlessly with the words of Eros Livieratos and gave NUNUM's Fall 2019 Issue an opening slice of perfection with 'Suburbs' so here it only feels right to say that Eros's words slipped right into the imagery of Mike's work and banged out an amazing opening for the Fall 2019 issue.

MFA Dispatch by Sara Gilbert: My Experience as a Graduate Student in Creative Writing: Part II

MFA Dispatch by Sara Gilbert

Because of the difficult second year of my MFA, I didn’t go straight through to my Ph. D. Instead, I took a year off, finishing up my thesis and looking into different options. I applied for several teaching positions at universities all over the country. I went to creative writing conferences. I took freelance jobs. But none of that was really what I wanted. I’d learned in Dublin that an author only makes about ten cents for every copy sold, and I knew that wasn’t a stand-alone career option, unless I wanted my parents to support me for the rest of my life.

Interview with Amanda Conner

Amanda Conner slipped a little real world reflection our way for NUNUM's Fall 2019 issue with her piece 'The Time Has Come'. The prose is zoomed and tight all by itself but once we blended it up with some Zelffie from Ling Lui & Tianyi Zhang something flipped and we suddenly found ourselves with another favorite.
